A number of programs had offered Franklin (Ga.) - Heard County running back Dontavius Jackson including Alabama, Clemson, and Florida, but the home-state Bulldogs were being patient. Jackson had visited Georgia, complimented their program, and he was waiting for the Bulldog offer. He is not waiting any longer because the Dawgs offered Jackson Sunday afternoon.

"Coach Barron (Heard County Head Coach) called me this afternoon and told me that Georgia offered me," said Jackson. "He said that Coach Rodney Garner called him and told him that Georgia wanted to offer me a scholarship."
